What is Hearing Loss?
Hearing loss means sounds don't come through as clearly as they once did. You might find yourself asking people to repeat themselves or turning up the volume more than you used to. While hearing loss can happen for various reasons, the most common culprits are age and exposure to loud environments over time.
How hearing loss works:
1. How Sound Travels Normally:
Sound waves enter the outer ear and travel through the ear canal to the eardrum.
2. What Happens with Hearing Loss:
Damaged hair cells fail - When these delicate hair cells are broken or missing, they can't do their job of converting sound into signals your brain can understand
3. Age-Related Changes:
Hair cells wear out - Just like other parts of your body, these cells deteriorate with use over decades and your body cannot grow new ones to replace them.
5. Common Signs to Watch For:
Hair cells wear out - Just like other parts of your body, these cells deteriorate with use over decades and your body cannot grow new ones to replace them.
What Causes Hearing Loss?
Hearing loss can happen gradually or suddenly. Common causes include:
- Aging (presbycusis)
- Exposure to loud noise
- Ear infections
- Genetic factors
- Injury or illness
- Earwax buildup
- Ototoxic medications
Early detection is key—most types of hearing loss can be improved with proper care and treatment.
